Starting Stage 3

I have been doing stage 2 for a month now and I am feeling much better. My core is much stronger and I am much more flexable than before.

I am now moving to stage 3 of my training which is basically adding cycling to the pilates and gym.

I am also cutting out coca cola. I managed all week last week although Friday night and Saturday I drank coke. Sunday I stopped again and have had only one small glass of coke since then (last night).

For stage 3 I am going to do 1 hour on the exercise bike 3 times a week (Mondays, Wednesday and Friday nights).

I have started to see the difference in my arms and legs from the pilates and gym but my middle is still the same and my stomach is sticking out more due to the fact that the Pilates is developing my abs. This is why I am introducing cycling to burn off the fat.

I am also going to go back to playing basketball again on tuesday nights to burn off some more caleries.

After 4 weeks of Stage 3 I plan to move to Stage 4 which will add court sprints and shooting training on saturday mornings to increase my basketball fitness so that I can get back to playing basketball at a higher level again.
